Log switching
You can assign a set of logs for a each trace when submitting the trace request. Log switching to the next available data set occurs when:
- A log data set is full
- A time, such as midnight, is specified with the trace request
- You request an immediate log switch with the I command on the Current Traces display
If an archive started task was specified on the trace request, that STC is run. It can:
- REPRO a copy of the data to tape or another disk data set
- Execute a step to flag the data set for reuse
- Submit a job to print reports
If no data set is available and overwriting logs was specified on the trace request, logging switches with the oldest trace data set.
